That's not correct.  MFC is strictly a native C++ concept.  IronPython,
being a .NET language, has access to the .NET GUIs, which means either
Windows Forms or the incredibly powerful Windows Presentation Framework.

However, if I may be allowed to express an opinion, if you're going to play
in that world, you are swimming upstream unless you write in C#. Otherwise,
you end up spending most of your time translating C# concepts into Python.

Here, you are correct.  Pywin32 does include a Python implementation of
MFC.
